This young guy sure got it all! Shield is handsome, clever and has a delightfully silly side. He will excel at some low impact training activities, such as scent work. Initially, Shield was quite worried at the shelter, finding all the new faces and noises a bit overwhelming. His adopters should expect that transitioning to and settling in at his new home, will also take time and patience. While Shield gets comfy with his new family, home life should be very calm and predictable. Give him plenty of time to settle in at his on pace and he will be happy to show you his silly, loud, shepherd personality. He may be able to join a home with a well matched resident dog, but should not live with a cat. Older kids that will be consistently respectful of Shield`s needs as he becomes familiar and comfortable with his family, will be considered. If you think you have the right home for this good boy, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Meet Remi, the reigning World Fetching Champion himself. This big-eared friend has never met a tennis ball he didn’t like. New friends, on the other hand, he can sometimes be a bit wary of. Remi is looking for an adopter who appreciates his reserved nature – he saves his best silly moves and fetching prowess for only his closest friends. While people can be a little scary, Remi thinks dog friends are great fun, but doesn’t like to share his food or favorite things so proper management will be important. Remi could do well in a home with a dog-savvy cat, but he says no thanks to kids. Submit an inquiry today to learn more about Remi!
This sweet face belongs to Caleb. Hes a friendly boy who loves to greet everyone he sees with a wiggling body and tail wags! He can typically be found waiting in his kennel patiently for his next friend to take him out, and he does well on leash. Caleb has high energy levels, so a family with teens would be his best fit. Hes still working on managing his excitement levels while playing with other dogs, and would need to meet any potential dog siblings. No felines for this guy, though, please. It may be best to have some dog friends outside of the home who can handle a rough play style! Calebs main hobby is cuddling up with his favorite tennis ball.

Meet Penny! That means brace yourself for this spring-loaded jumping bean of energy. We have had the great pleasure of getting to know Penny pretty well in the adoption center, that means we know her to be a complicated lady. Sometimes she is bouncy and wild and ready for action, sometimes she is quite fearful and quiet, trying to make herself disappear. Life with Penny will mean helping her navigate the world when she is being silly and when she is afraid. She`s looking for an adopter who is excited about helping her become the very best version of herself – but we already think she is pretty great. Penny might be able to live with a confident and tolerant helper dog, but says no thank you to cats and kids. If you`d like to learn more about Penny, submit an inquiry today!

Juni would love to have some well-matched dog friends to help her learn to navigate the world, but they’ll need to be very patient friends who are comfortable with her rough and rowdy play style.

This little guy came in with a broken leg, but now he`s all healed up and ready to find his happy ever after. Max is just 7 months and is sweet and silly with people he`s comfortable with. A quiet, low traffic, adult home will be the perfect fit for this cutie. Max may never be a social butterfly and will likely prefer to stay close to home, which means his adopters should be committed to making sure he feels safe and comfortable. He`s a very talkative little chap, both when nervous and while playing, so apartments/condos would not be a good fit. Max would enjoy the company of a well matched adult dog that will be a good role model. He may also be able to live with a dog savvy cat, as long as there are well managed introductions and an area to keep them separate, initially. If you think your home might be just what this good boy needs, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

What great big ears you have, Dobby! All the better to hear you with! Did I hear someone say forever home?
Meet Dobby! Dobby is a loyal, funny & quirky, with a capital Q, kind of lady. Dobby’s motto is girl’s rule, boy’s drool! She can find it hard to fit in with her 2 legged peers. It’s not always love at 1st sight but once a connection is made, at her own pace of course, she will be your best friend.
Dogs are always welcome with Dobby but be prepared, this lean & lanky lady likes to rumble and tumble. Once adjusted to her new digs a dog friend may benefit her as long as they can tolerate her over exuberant play style.
Plain & simple Dobby’s etiquettes & manners are a bit rusty so patience is a must along with a good refresher course in housetraining. She know how to speak her mind so if she is stressed or anxious she will let you know by serenading you with her power house voice. She would do best in a quieter neighborhood as apartment living would be a bit overwhelming for this upcoming star. Who knows she may be the next American Idol.
Cats are an unknown but Dobby may enjoy sharing her space with then, after a slow introduction.
Dobby may also enjoy the companionship of older dog-savvy children who are able to read her body language, which she is really good at letting you know when she is uncomfortable.

Meet Peanut! Peanut is an expert level lap dog, and already has 1.5 years under her belt perfecting her craft.

Meet Minnie! This 5 year old, “pocket pittie” is a little ball of energy and she can’t wait to be your friend! You wouldn’t know by looking at her that she didn’t have the easiest start in life – Minnie is as resilient as they come. She has never met a stranger that she didn’t fall in love with, and her tail often wags so hard that it looks like it might fall off. Minnie loves to play with other dogs, though her signature tasmanian devil spin-move isn’t always well-received, so she’ll need a family who can help select dog friends who are well matched for her silliness. She has not had much experience living inside, so she’ll need a lot of support to learn how to be a good roommate. Minnie is looking for a home as the only pet, and she may be successful with older kids who can help with her training. Submit an inquiry today to learn more about Minnie!
Meet Emma! She might be the most sensitive girl you`ll ever know.

We think she will make a really wonderful companion for someone who likes the quieter things in life, someone who doesn`t mind skipping all the hustle and bustle and opting for a comfortable night on the couch instead. Emma might be able to live with a confident helper dog or a dog savvy cat, but she`s looking for a home without children. To learn more about Emma, submit an inquiry today!
Meet Princess! Her tail wags at approximately 20 wags per second, and in case that wasn’t clear enough that she’s having a good time, she wiggles her whole bum for good measure. Princess is only about 2 years old and is quite athletic, so she’d love a new friend to take her on all sorts of New England adventures. Princess has learned a lot of things already in her short life, but settling comfortably when home alone is still a work in progress. She’d do best with someone who is home often and can continue to help her with this life skill. Princess would prefer to be the only dog at home for now, but could do well with some polite, role-model dog friends. She has no history living with cats but got along well with kids in her last home. If you’d like to learn more about Princess, submit an inquiry today!
